Move METADATA.toml to .data #171

Description

@srittau

Currently, METADATA.toml is added to each top-level package. This was done, since we had no better place at the time. In https://discuss.python.org/t/extra-files-in-dist-info/39418/4 it turns out that it's probably possible to add a _typeshed directory into .dist-info, which would be a better location for it. But even better would be the .data directory.

hatchling supports this for wheels via the shared-data option. I'm not sure about setuptools or flit.
